New 4K TV; how do I best stream audio through older integrated amp

Chris,

You definitely want to use the superior DAC in your Moon amp for digital processing, and not the one in your TV.  If you have a TOSLINK - digital Out connection on your TV (highly likely), This will give you a great Stereo digital feed into your DAC.  The TOSLINK protocol supports audio resolutions up to 24/96.  

This turned out to be the best connection for me - from my Sony HDR TV into an extra Bel Canto DAC that I had around.  Incredible high resolution audio.

good luck.

This I didn’t know existed. Thankyou. See, sometimes its just little random bits of information that perhaps everyone else takes for granted but I didn’t know about.

The TV has only RCA in, and HDMI which I used once or twice with a reasonably good soundbar (its not a Bose, and I still didn’t like it).

Should I require a DAC, well, that’s something I’ll find out.  One thing at a time.

HDMI to RCA converter

HDMI kind of sucks anyway. Hand off issues etc. I hate the interface, but it is what it is. As others have mentioned, your tv will have digital out, possibly coax rca, but probably Toslink. Easy to do.

On the converter subject, anyone have a good recommendation for a Toslink to coax rca converter? I have Toslink out but need RCA in… 

Thanks all! I went the digital toslink route into the DAC in the Simaudio-Moon, and it sounds great.

Great, Chris.... Glad it worked out, enjoy!
